It's time to start looking at the Kentucky Derby. Yep, it's that time. No, I ain't drunk. Sober, I am. Really.
The Road to the Roses started Feb. 12 with the San Vicente at Santa Anita. I've been playing an online fantasy game for about five years now called - you guessed it - www.roadtotheroses.com. It's free. And there's some cool gifts if ya win.
You pick 10 horses, two jockeys and two trainers. There's 31 weeks of races (usually one or two each weekend) until the Derby. Each time one of your picks wins, you get points.
I actually placed in the top five my first year. I won some free drinking glasses, a coat, hat and a couple of other small itmes.
This year the top prizes are:
GRAND PRIZE:
A VIP trip for 2 to Kentucky Derby 133
Backstretch tour on Kentucky Oaks morning and visit the paddock on Derby Day
Second Place:
Gateway 30" Flat-screen LCD HD-Ready Television
Third Place:
Gateway Desktop PC
Sign up. And anyone who wants to make some side bets, just let me know. You readin' this, Bucket? Shooter? Dixie?
